TATA IPL Live Score, Mumbai Indians vs Chennai Super Kings Live Full Scorecard
All eyes on Rohit Sharma
It’s certainly been a subdued start to the season for Rohit Sharma, hasn’t it? Despite his legendary status and hefty ₹16.30 crore price tag, his appearances on the field for the Mumbai Indians have been surprisingly limited, mostly as an Impact Substitute. When he has played, in the six matches he’s featured in (missing one due to injury), his time at the crease has been confined to the Powerplay overs. His scores of 0, 8, 13, 17, 18, and 26 show a slight improvement in his most recent innings, but it’s hard to ignore that he hasn’t made a significant contribution yet.
While Rohit himself has often emphasized maximizing impact over sheer volume of runs in white-ball cricket, a philosophy perfectly suited to T20s, his early dismissals this season haven’t allowed him to do so. His dismissal points – 0.4, 0.4, 5.2, 1.4, 4.6, and 3.5 overs into the innings – highlight how quickly his contributions have ended. For a player of his caliber, and at that price point, fans would undoubtedly be hoping for more substantial innings.
